Beginning with this build, MediaMonkey for Android beta builds will be available as 'MediaMonkey' builds via the play store (we will no longer be updating the 'MediaMonkey beta' builds. We're making this change because:
a) it'll allow you to switch between beta and release builds without having to uninstall MediaMonkey
b) it'll help us expand our beta-testing user base
c) it'll help help us manage the transition from Alpha to Beta to Release more efficiently
d) it'll eliminate test artifacts
If you're a current beta tester, here's how to make the switch from 'MediaMonkey Beta' to the 'MediaMonkey' beta:
After a period of time, your MediaMonkey build will automatically be updated to the latest beta version (and will continue to be automatically updated with the latest beta builds unless you de-register from the beta program).
Test Notes:
- MediaMonkey 1.2.0 is compatible with Android 4+
- If testing USB or WiFi Synchronization, please update to the latest version of the MediaMonkey for Windows beta build (4.1.12)
- Some functionality will expire after 15 days unless you update to MediaMonkey Pro. Installing a new build resets the timer.
